Greetings!

I am having issues with OE. It won't load and says out of memory or disk full, both untrue. Also says msoe.dll won't load maybe a bad install. I spent over an hour on the chat with microsoft support. They said ummmmm...... I tried the registry fix that they said and tried the download and reinstall and still nothing. I am running XP sp2 even that didn't fix. Any ideas?

Switch to <a href=http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/>Thunderbird</a>.

I second the "get a decent mail client" line

I love threads like this....

They're akin to the IE problem posts with reply after reply of "Get Firefox; IE sucks!"

You're comfortable with Outlook Express and changing programs can be a bit intimidating. So, instead of suggesting another program (which you should...switch to something other than OE, which is rife with humbuggery) I will direct you to some websites.

Since the description of the error is so very vague and there seems to be quite a few errors with that particular dll mentioned, there are a few different pages with vastly different problems. For what it's worth, my money is on this one.

But if that doesn't work....

There's this one
and this one
and finally, this one

Good luck

Thunderbird all the way. You will never go back to outlook express. It was the Frist think i dl'ed after doing a drive wipe and install. Setup is easy, its just the same as entering your pop3/smtp settings. Took 2 mins to set up 3 mail accounts.

so when his toyota breaks down would you suggest he go buy a honda? The guy is not asking for reccomendations for a new email client....he is asking how to repair the one he has.

I tried reinstall didnt work. Dont really want to try that again but might if i cant get these helps to work.

Also I am using Thunderbird now as an alternate and find it lacking. Isn't all that it is played up to be I don't think.

Well, if he was going to spend $$ fixing his piece-of-shit Lada I might very well suggest there were better ways to spend the money - perhaps even by buying a Honda. Same thing in this case, except it's his time I'm trying to save him. Dump as much time as you want into Outlook Express - it doesn't change the fact that it's a piece-of-shit mail client. Thunderbird is 'free', and it doesn't automatically render HTML so it's also by default more secure. Why fsck around with OE when you can skip the painful steps and move right into something else that works?
